2019 Map of Santanoni Peak

About this map

The Santanoni Mountains dominate this high-peaks landscape, defined by prominent summits including Santanoni Peak, Panther Peak, and Couchsachraga Peak. This wilderness terrain in Essex County is carved by the Cold River, which flows past Millers Falls and Big Eddy in the northern reaches. The settlement pattern is almost entirely absent, characterized instead by a network of waterways and isolated peaks like Little Santanoni Mtn and Wolf Pond Mtn. A few primitive roads, such as Moose Pond Rd and Newcomb Lake Rd, provide limited access to the interior lakes, including Moose Pond and the expansive Newcomb Lake in the southeast. This survey captures the area's undeveloped character, where the Newcomb River and Santanoni Brook drain the steep slopes of the high Adirondack range.
